genre
Snow White subverts the fairy tale genre by learning to become a bandit. She also subverts it in another way – when Prince Alcott is put under the ‘love’ potion’s influence, all he can possibly think about is the Queen. He moans and whines and whimpers, “I yearn for the nectar of her skin!” But it isn’t just a pure change of heart – Snow White realises the hex, and does what has never been done before in the history of fairy tales: she delivers the magical first kiss. In this way Snow White subverts the fairy tale genre, as she essentially ‘took over’ the role of the hero … and she saved the day.
